Mayor Expresses Concerns Over Dance Music Fest Returning to Major City

Following 57 hospitalizations and 2 fatalities, the fifth annual Sunset Music Festival left a bad taste in the mouths of Tampa
citizens. Despite repeated efforts to up security and health staff on site, Tampa
Mayor Bob Buckhorn shared his concern and his disappointment regarding the
unfortunate circumstances that occurred that weekend.

“You can’t necessarily assign blame, but clearly it is not an
environment conducive to positive things happening. The Sports Authority,
they need to look at whether that is an appropriate type of event for this
community to host.
The types
of drugs that tend to be associated with those electronic dance music festivals
obviously has catostrophic results for people who make bad decisions." - Mayor Buckhorn

Francis
, Marshmello,Flosstradamus,Zomboy, Excision and more. The series will bring big-name dance music artists to Tampa’s Beach Bar on the Courtney Campbell Causeway every Sunday starting June 12th until June 28th.
